IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS11 This text is for users in countries except European countries: - This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of expe- rience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. - Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Use only original bags and accessories Before use, always thoroughly clean your appliance and any accessories coming in contact with food (containers, caps, jars etc.) as directed in the “INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING” paragraph. 1 Positioning the appliance Position the appliance in a dry place on a level surface, making sure that the work area in front of the appliance itself is clear of obstacles and there is enough room to accommodate the bags with the food to be packed. 2 Connecting the machine Plug the power cable (13) into the socket (12) and then connect it to a mains power outlet matching the machine voltage (see technical data). The Dry LED of key 1A (SEAL MODE) will be on. Standby: After 10' down- time the machine goes into standby mode. To restart it, press any key on the control keyboard. 3 Set the sealing type The sealing type must be set whenever the power cable (13) is plugged into the mains power outlet. With MAGIC VAC® (Mod. P0519ED), the sealing type can be adjusted. As a matter of fact, the final bag sealing result is affected by the type of food to be packaged or by the ambient temperature in which sealing is performed. Therefore, to optimise the final result, 2 sealing modes can be selected: Dry - for dry food such as biscuits, rice and coffee Humid - for red meat and fish that release liquids or blood, for fragile food items 4 Tips on using bags The bags are available in two widths: 20 and 30 cm. Choose the bag size suited for the food you intend to preserve. Check that the bag you are going to use is at least 8 cm longer than the food to be packaged, taking into account an additional 2 cm for each time the bag will be subsequently reused. 5 Making bags from rolls - Pull out the desired bag length and place it on the closed lid of the device; hold the bag with one hand, then slide the cutter through the roller to cut the bag to the desired length (fig A), then seal an open side of the piece following these steps: - Lift the lid (1) and turn it in the open position. - - Seal an open side of the piece by placing one of the two open ends of the bag on the sealing bar (8) with the smooth part facing downwards (fig. B). Attention: do not allow the bag to protrude into the vacuum chamber (8) or on the seal (6). See the dotted line (fig. B) - Close the Cover (5) and press the two opposite ends (fig. C), you will hear a click, which means that the cover is latched. - Press the SEAL key (1B)to perform the sealing process. Wait for the SEAL led (1B) to switch off. - Press the LOCK/UNLOCK Buttons (2) (fig D) to be able to open the Cover (5). - Lift the lid and turn it in the open position. - Check the quality of the seal obtained, which should appear as a regular, wrinkle-free crosswise strip with no internal ridges in the bag (fig. E). 6 Vacuum packing with bags cut from a roll or pre-cut bags - Lift the lid (5) and turn it in the open position. - Place food in the bag without creasing it excessively or stretching surfaces. Eliminate any liquids or food residues from the area inside the bag that will be sealed. - Place the bag and its contents in front of the appliance and place the open end inside the vacuum chamber (7) with the smooth side facing down (fig. F). ATTENTION: have the end of the bag protrude inside the VACUUM CHAMBER(7). See the dotted line (fig. F) - Close the Cover (5) and press the two opposite ends (fig. G), you will hear a click, which means that the cover is latched. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ATTENTION: Do not store the machine with the LOCK buttons hooked. After several uses, the sealing gaskets (10) could wear out and the machine may no longer be able to cre- ate vacuum. In this case, you must replace the seals, as they are considered consumable materials and are not under warranty.12 - Press the VAC & SEAL key (1C) to perform the packing cycle. Wait for the VAC SEAL led (1C) to switch off. - Press the LOCK/UNLOCK Buttons (2) (fig H) to be able to open the Cover (5). - Lift the lid and turn it in the open position. - Check the quality of the seal obtained, which should appear as a regular, wrinkle-free crosswise strip with no internal ridges in the bag. (fig. B)

The packaging cycle already started can be interrupted at any time by pressing the STOP key (1D). 7 Vacuum packing in Executive containers or in containers sealed with Universal Caps ATTENTION: Only use MAGIC VAC® canisters since they are resistant to the vacuum created by the Mod. P0519ED, while other types of canisters could implode due to the vacuum created by the machine and cause injury. Executive containers and the Universal Caps with star-shaped knob (see fig. L) make vacuum packing easier, because the connection hose can be directly introduced into the knob central hole. Universal Caps, available in two diameters (100 mm and 125 mm), are to be used on jars for preserving food and bowls and receptacles made of tempered glass. The Universal Caps work just like the Caps for Executive containers.

WARNING: When using Universal Caps do not use plastic or glass containers that are not suitable since they

could implode under the vacuum pressure of the appliance and cause injury. - Fill the container leaving at least 3 cm of room between the contents and upper rim. Place the lid on the container and turn the knob to the “VACUUM” position (fig. L). - Connect the container lid knob to the appliance air inlet (15) by means of the connection hose (fig. L). - Press the VAC button (4) and the machine will create vacuum and switch off when the operation has been completed. - Remove the hose from the container lid knob. - Turn the knob to the “CLOSED” position. - To open the containers turn the knob to the “OPEN” position, you should hear a hissing of air as it enters the container. This sound guarantees that the contents have been packed in a vacuum. 8 Vacuum packing in Family containers Multipurpose containers ideal for storage of frequently used products such as dry and fragile foods; powder foodstuffs; fresh, pureed or strained fruit and vegetables. Their transparency and design makes them attractive to display on kitchen shelves while ensuring that their contents are clearly visible. - Fill the container leaving at least 3 cm of room between the contents and upper rim and position the cap on the container. - Connect the container lid to the air inlet (3) of the appliance (fig. M and fig. N) by means of the connection hose (15). - Press the VAC button (4) and the machine will create vacuum and switch off when the operation has been completed. - Remove the hose from the container lid. - To open round canisters, press the center button, to open square canisters, first press the release (16) and then open the safety closure (fig. M). 9 Vacuum packing in glass jars sealed with metal caps (Leifheit type) Use the cap attachment to pack foods in glass jars with a metal cap. - Fill the container leaving at least 3 cm of room between the contents and upper rim. - Connect the cap attachment (17) to the air inlet (3) of the appliance by means of the connection hose (15). Place the cap attachment directly on the jar with the metal cap only (18) and press down, making sure it fits correctly. (fig. O) - Press the VAC button (4) and the machine will create vacuum and switch off when the operation has been completed. Make sure that the cap attachment holds firmly by keeping it pressed with your hand. - Disconnect the hose from the cap attachment. Remove the cap attachment from the jar. - Apply the ring (19) supplied with the jar and screw it down all the way (fig. O). - To open a glass jar vacuum-sealed with a metal cap, use the cap opener provided (the side with writing should be turned up). Position the cap opener as shown in (fig. P) and gently pry open the cap until the vacuum is released. Remove the metal cap. This accessory allows you to reuse the cap. 10 Vacuum packing with bottle caps The Bottle Cap may be used to seal partly filled bottles of wine or non-fizzy beverages. Using the Bottle Cap will allow you to create a vacuum inside the bottle so as to slow down oxidisation and preserve the freshness and flavour of its contents for a longer time. - By means of the connection hose (15) connect the air inlet (3) of the appliance to the Bottle Cap (20) (fig. Q). Press the Cap firmly into the bottle. - Press the VAC button (4) and the machine will create vacuum and switch off when the operation has been completed. - Disconnect the hose from both the Bottle Cap and the appliance immediately. - To open a bottle sealed with the Bottle Cap, simply pull the cap out of the bottle. You will hear the air rushing into the bottle. 11 Vacuum packing with the cap attachment in Executive containers or in containers sealed with Universal Caps with the previous model of knob To use the Cap Attachment in Executive containers or in containers sealed with Universal Caps with the previ-13 IMPORTANT: Before cleaning the device, disconnect it from the mains, then remove the plug from the socket (12) and cover it with a rubber cap.
